The Transformers Race Train
OK, I admit it. I'm a BIG dork when it comes to the Transformers movies. I just love them. I've seen the new one three times. (Yes really, don't laugh too hard.)
So I thought I'd do a Transformers themed train just for fun 
This train will be a race, which means that the riders will be divided into teams. For this particular train, we'll have three teams -- Team Optimus, Team Bumblebee and Team Sam.
The first person on each team will mail the first envie on the designated mailing date (in this case, Sept. 21). When the second person on the team receives the envie, they can go ahead and mail an envie to the third person on their team. And so on. Then enies are potluck envies of at least 25 coupons. More details on the specific requirements for the envies below.
This requires everyone to be on the honor code! No early mailing and no cheating! Each team will then race to get their envie home the fastest. The team that does it the fastest will win!
The people on the two losing teams will each be responsible for sending someone on the winning team a winner's envie once the race has been won (I will assign those after declaring a winner). And yes, that means the people on the winning team will each get TWO winner's envies!
So grand total, you will be responsible for the one train envie that you will pass on during the race and possibly one more envie if your team does not win.
I can take as many people who want to ride on this train (though I'm hoping the final number just happens to be divisible by 3!). You must have an iTrader fb rating of at least 10 to ride this train. Sign ups will close noon EST Sunday, Sept. 18.
To claim a ticket,
1. post in this thread that you would like to ride
2. send me a pm titled Transformers Train and include your wishlist link and mailing address
*****I won't add you to the rider list until I get this PM from you!!****
When you take a ticket, you are agreeing to:
*…mail the envies as described above.
*…write your user name, and Transformers Train on the outside of each envie you send.
*…post promptly in this thread when you send and when you receive envies.
*… remail your envie if it has not been received at the two week point. Joining this train means you agree to this rule. Please remember, that when you sign up to join a train, not only are you agreeing to the specific guidelines of that train but the train rules as posted HERE in general.
***Failing to follow the rules of the trains or not sending an envelope falls under a bad trade. You can be reported for this and be listed as a bad trader.
***Report a missing envie within two weeks of the date it was posted as mailed. After two weeks from the mailing date, any envies that are not reported as received in the train thread will be ASSUMED to have been received unless they are reported as missing. Again, signing up for this train means you agree to this rule.
Additional fine print:
*These envies are potlucks, so hopefully you find at least a few in each one you receive.
*When mailing: No baby, no pet, no meds, no booze and no oddball products that very few members use unless you have an exact wishlist match. In other words, no junk!
*Limit of one copy of each coupon unless it is an exact match to a wishlist. An EXACT match is exactly that… if I say on my wishlist 75/1 Superpretzels, 50/2 is NOT an exact match. If you have and exact wishlist match, then duplicates are encouraged!
*You can always send more than 25. If you want to include more than one of a certain coupon, or some with a short expiration date, that is OK, but it has to be above the 25 coupon minimum. And if you do send extras, watch your postage!
*Printables, store-specific coupons, BTFE, Campbell’s Labels, Coke Codes, Pepsi Codes, etc., are great to send if the member can use them.
*Rebates and TMF forms are GREAT to include (just be sure they can be used in the state the receiver is in!).
*If for any reason you mail out late (life happens), post in the thread when it went out so your receiving rider can watch for it.
*Please leave feedback for fellow riders who send to you!
*Please also note that this is a potluck train! That means that while it is nice to try to match the wish lists of your assigned recipients, do not feel that every coupon has to come from their wish list. Just do the best you can. As long as you adhere to the other rules about expiration dates, minimum number of coupons and mailing on the mailing dates, you should be fine.
*You can always PM the member directly if you have questions about what they can or cannot use.
*And finally, if you have questions about the progress of this train or whether a trader sent you an envie that does not meet the requirements for this train, you can always post your question in the train thread or contact me via PM.
WHEW! OK, if you made it through all that and would like to ride, send me that PM and post below!
Choo choo! 
Riders in the #1 position will start the race by mailing on Wednesday, Sept. 21. Everyone after is allowed to mail as early as the day the envie arrives at your house! Good luck to everyone!
